What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Oh yes, quilty friends, I’m a total snow fanatic and eagerly anticipate that first frosty flurry. In my dream winter wonderland, the boring brown Podunk landscape gets buried under a fluffy white blanket from early November straight through to March.  Of course, I wouldn’t want blizzard conditions.  Just enough snow to make snow angels, build snowmen, and craft snow forts to hide a stockpile of snowballs for launching at Mr. Podunk when he gets home from work... HAHA!

 Back in 2012, yellow and gray took the quilting world by storm. Weak-willed and utterly clueless about my quilting style, I dove headfirst into the trend, scooping up bargain yellow and gray fabrics for an upcoming HST BOM (half square triangle block of the month). If my memory serves me right, these prints are all Walmart fabrics, while the white-on-white background came from Joann's.

Hello Quilty Friends!  After nearly three weeks of blog silence, I’m back! Where did I go? Absolutely nowhere! I’ve been right here in Podunk, buried under a mountain of quilting ideas and plans. Hopping from one project to another, rummaging through fabrics, planning, sorting, sewing, snapping pictures of my progress, and even managing to finish a couple of quilts along the way. I was deep in the quilty zone! This week, I’ll be sharing all the quilty goodness I’ve been up to during my blogging hiatus.

First up is the Strawberry Shortcake quilt.  This quilt top ...

 Over the last month I've been watching the "Quilty Christmas in July" series on the Sew The Distance Youtube Channel.  Kris has been posting a video a day with great tips and ideas for sewing up Christmas gifts or projects for yourself.  One of the tips she shared was to finish up those UFO's and give them as gifts.  Most of the work is already done so it would be quick to finish.  

 This week's two small finishes lit a quilt finishing fire in the Podunk Sewing Room.  Might as well feed the flames by pulling a small quilt top from the stash.
